If you need cash quick, farming for these things is the way to go. The Twilight Mobs are easy to kill and drop these about 1/4 or 1/5 of the time. They easily sell for 1g each since the prospective buyers are usually either rich people who want Cenarion Circle items or smaller guilds who are trying to get their members friendly with CC for the buff on the Rajaxx fight in AQ20.

The texts now give 250 rep with CC each handin (as of patch 2.0.1)

Comment by Dragonfyr

These are now worth 250 Rep per 10 instead of the 100 rep before the 2.0 patch. There not that hard to come by and usally worth around 1g each. ( Price may differ per server )

Comment by Blacktalis

you wont get any rep off normal mobs after revered, so best to save these text til then, then hand in as many as u got.If AQ Gates open, this'll be done fast.

these are great to get from farming in silithus they still sell for almost 1g each on my server and drop off any of the guys at the twilight camps. about every other twilight you kill drops one and there is 2 turn ins for them. One turn in them not everyone knows about and is on the south east corner of silithus in a cave. This turn in gives no rep but he does mail you a bag of loot for each turn in you do. The bag of loot will sometimes rare recipes so this makes the turn in worthe doing. However from what i found lately a recipe will only show up in your bag of loot about 1 in ever 5 turn ins

it is tradeable item.

Comment by jfmartel

As patch 2.2, these now gives 500 reputation for each turn in of 10 at Bor Wildmane

Farming these mobbs is ideal as a mage! the Masters and the Overlords both use frostbolts, and a occasional fireblast. Use a frostward and then use "mana saving" attacks and and u can easily kill many wothout having to drink!

Twilight Prohet dropped 9

Comment by Grakhorn

I suggest that you do this quest together with Twilight Geolords by killing Twilight Geolords as they have 23% chance to drop Twilight Text aswell.

Comment by killmurlocs

this almost never drops from the twilight mobs (in my experiece anyway) also this can't be vendored.

Comment by Hyperstalker

Since 3.0.2 this area is a great spot to farm gold as most people will pay a good ammount of gold for these items to get there title "Guardian of cenarius" also the runecloth dropped here is a great second source of income with stacks selling up to 7gold per on my realm. i farmed here for afew hours getting 400 of these texts and around 52-55 stacks of runecloth and 41 abyssal crests.

Sold all twilights texts on the AH 7-8 gold each, All the runecloth 7g per stack and abyssal crest 20gold each.

Great income if you liek to farm gold. since the mobs have little over 3k hp

P.S this are sucks on Eonar - eu ;p

Comment by 180406

Drop rate is very low. Kill 20 and drop nothing.

Comment by trillz

Got 9 from killing the elite prophet, if your farming then these would be no problem just a quick pick up though your better off checking the AH and I have yet to get an abysall crest =[

Good luck finding these on the auction house nowadays. There haven't been any on for the last couple of weeks on my server (Vashj-EU). Then again, there aren't any players in Silithus anymore nowadays either. Try "/who Silithus" and see if you can find anyone. Everybody just heads to Outland and level 58.

Summarising: the only way to get these, is to farm them yourself.

Edward Cullen would like to have a word with you...

Comment by 481777

78 hand ins is required to gain exalted from friendly.Thats 780 texts.would it be much faster if i did a run of AQ40 each week and get the insignias for rep aswell?

Comment by 516353

These aren't BoP so it's worth checking the AH for them. Never know may get a good deal.

Comment by Luketh

Worth noting these yield rep until exalted. It's been a long time since I farmed these, but when I did, I farmed them in the northeast corner of Silithus. It's called "Twilight's Run"

Comment by AzureShadow42

Oddly enough, these no longer seem to drop. I even have the quest to obtain ten of them, and none of the Twilight Cultists in the area show that they have the drop from the built-in quest helper.

Can anyone else confirm? I've killed a few dozen of these and haven't seen a single text.

Comment by 673525

This still drops. I decided to go back and finish up my rep grind with Cenarion Circle today. Pre-shattering i was at honored, and the extra quests in plaguelands, desolace and un'goro i had reached halfway through revered. After twilight grinding for an hour i had 24 of them. (level 85 frost mage).

you can turn them in 10 at a time for 525 rep at a guy in cenarion hold.

Comment by 771456

Just kill Twilight Prophets. They have a 100% drop rate of Twilight texts, and it gives you between 7 and 12.

I found one at the southest Twilight camp. One kill gave me 7 Twilight texts.

Comment by Vexari

Currently level 60 and doing all the old world reputations before I turn experience on and do the Outlands stuff. I started doing the quests for the Cenarion Hold at level 60, all of them conned green and in Grand Marshall gear it was fairly easy. Doing ALL of the quests in Cenarion Hold will easily get you to just into honored or mid way through honored depending on your race and guild perks. Once you have done every single quest there it is time to begin your reputation grind through killing.

The easiest way to do this is to go to the Twilight Base Camp, due west of Cenarion Hold, quiet hard to miss it. Kill all the Twilight cultists you find there and begin gathering text. I am a human in a guild that is level 5, so killing cultists gave me 11-12 reputation each. Twilight text drops from ANY Twilight Hammer cultist in this base camp, there isn't one that has a higher ratio per text then the other, so just kill everything. From time to time the Twilight Prophet will ramble by the camp with two (2) Twilight Avenger escorts. As a well geared level 60 Warrior I had absolutely no trouble with this group thanks to victory rush. Twilight Prophet can drop anywhere from 6-9 Twilight Texts and as I have learned and confirmed, she wanders by this camp on a 30 minute timer.

Farming texts, killing cultists and doing all the quests in Cenarion Hold, average farming time : About a day of steady work.

Comment by Morec0

When decoded it says one thing: "Edward."

Comment by 898593

This macro helped me alot with finding the Twilight Prophet/target Twilight ProphetPut the macro on "1" or "2", so u dont have to click on it. Fly around and spam it, and before u know u have found her<3 She drops 7-10 Twilight Texts, so its defintly worth to do.Hope this helped!:D

Comment by Dinindourdin

I got 30 texts from a half hour grind, but 16 of those were from killing the Twilight Prophet twice.

Comment by Hildur

If you're wondering what the "decoded twilight text" is(which you get in the mail after giving the hermit 10 encrypted ones)

There are no sparkly vampires or shirtless werewolf boys to be heard of.

The state of the Cult, Volume 92

It is with a joyous heart that I greet you, my brethren. For the state of our cult could not be more grand. We are legion. And our goals grow ever closer to fruition.

New recruits continue to gather. They sing praise to our lords in Darkshore. They bow in jubilant reverie within the searing gorge. They embrace our masters' servant, Aku'Mai in Blackfathom Deeps. Indeed, my brothers and sisters, soon a swarm of the faithful will blanket all of Azeroth.

Comment by corvis9

The geolords and avengers share spawns. If you decide to ignore the geolords because of their lower drop rate after a few clears of the twilight camps the skew caused by your 'unnatural selection' will become unmistakable. You wind up getting less per campsite after the initial spike. So much for being clever and saving a little time. <sigh> Back to grinding.

Comment by danight33

This just made my day,

These take forever to farm from normal mobs at the level you need them, however the Twilight Prophets (elites) that sometimes wander through the camp drop a 10 stack.

Comment by bldvamp

They are not cheap in the AH when i looked. A stack of 200 was going for 2200 gold.

Comment by ZiaGaming

when you combine these, do you get a story about a sparkly vampire in washington?

Just follow the arrow, spam the button while traveling, land, kill with an AOE spell and repeat!

Tip: If you don't have TomTom or are outpacing the rotation, look for campfires and/or big stones to land next to as that's where mobs cluster.

*TomTom is an addon that can be downloaded separately. Waypoints are loaded only when not mounted.

Comment by abhorsen1988

You can realm hop and farm the Twilight Prophets to get as many texts as possible quickly.

When the new Legion Professions interface comes out and we can see what recipes we don't know, people will soon realise that these Tailoring and Blacksmithing patterns exist. Try and farm as many texts as possible now while Silithus isn't too populated. It took me a few days and farming sessions to collect all of the recipes.

Furthermore, due to the tediousness of farming up the texts and having to wait around 8 hours each hand-in for the bags to arrive in the mail, a lot of people might just prefer to buy the patterns or texts on the AH; so prices might increase too.

Comment by Haqin

Handing these in during the 'Call of the Scarab' event doesn't seem to reward anything more than the normal 500 reputation. ie, no Qiraji Commendations.

Comment by Scoobydeux

Based on an hour of farming these this morning, I'd say that the drop rates have been greatly reduced, and the WoWHead reported drop rates are biased way too high by old, out of date data. Legion brought changes to Silithus, some of which are obvious, (Surprise, the Twilight mobs don't just fall over, and may even kill you!), and some of which may be more subtle.

I needed ten for the hermit, got most of them in the cave on the ring quest. (Twilight's Run, entrance at 70:16) The mobs in the cave seem to have a higher drop rate for the texts, maybe the drop rate as reported. The Twilight Geolords and the Twilight Avengers elsewhere dropped very few.

Worth noting, your repair costs will now run in the gold if you are high level. Also, the Twilight cultist costume items have been changed from wearable items with no stats to consumable costume buff items. The buff applies to each named piece, and each lasts 24 hours.

Before patch i always get the mail and after patch no mail ever come. Got multiple recipe from it but still missing 1 recipe for BS Plans: Darkrune Gauntlets.

Comment by pure162

As of patch 7.3.2, be sure you speak to Zidormi (located 77,21) since Sargeras' Sword destroyed the Silithus we once knew and where the Twilight's Hammer resident. You'll have the option to time travel and farm them in old Silithus via Zidormi.

Comment by ZachieBlade

So.. am I really unlucky or do these have really bad drop rates? I've been trying to do the Silithus quests for like an hour and I only have 2 of the texts?

Comment by melodelic

Since it's been awhile since someone has said something, if you're trying to go for rep (like I was), you need to go to Bor Wildmane (53 35) in the OLD Sithilus to get the rep for 10 text turn ins. DO NOT go to Hermit Ortell if you are trying to get rep!
